By the way, how are the trends of US stocks and gold?"

When Smith Jama was about to get up and leave, Arthur asked with concern. Although the gold futures in his hand had already been cleared, after all, his tons of spot gold lies in the bank vault, and the US stock market is where he holds a heavy position.

“Not optimistic.”

Smith shook his head and replied, "Although, due to the remarks made by Fed Chairman Bernanke yesterday, spot gold rose 0.5% after the opening this morning, ending the trend of three consecutive trading days of decline.

However, US stocks opened sharply lower, with the Dow falling more than 100 points in the early trading. This increased risk aversion and hit demand for high-risk assets.

At the same time, the UK Statistics Office announced this morning that the monthly rate of manufacturing output in October remained flat, with an annual rate of 7.8%, which was expected to grow by 0.4% month-on-month and a year-on-year rate of 7.2%. This shows that the UK manufacturing industry is still weak, suppressing the decline of the pound. The pound fell further against the US dollar against the New York period from 1.6316, and the exchange rate fell below the 1.6300 integer level.

Currently, spot gold is at $1,163.30 per ounce, and the gold price has fallen in the previous few trading days, which has attracted investors to buy on dips. However, according to our analysis, if the US dollar strengthens, it will be difficult for the gold price to remain stable at the current price."

"Haha, it seems that the US dollar will no longer be a pure safe-haven asset, or a measure of value!" Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

"The key is that Fed Chairman Bernanke's speech, given that the recovery is still fragile, said that interest rates will remain unchanged for a long period of time, which will benefit the US dollar. In the past five months, the US dollar has benefited from the strengthening of economic data several times, but I think it will soon return to the more common positive data negative US dollar pattern. I am still optimistic about the gold market." Angela said from the side.

"Well, I look good at gold, but now we should focus on the euro. After closing the profit position, we can go both ends, and we can't let go of gold futures and shorting the euro." Arthur said with a bright look and a smile.

"Boss, this makes our staff a little nervous." Smith Jama said embarrassedly.

"Haha, then recruit people. It's time to expand the scale of the investment company. By the way, Angela, your advisory group will also expand the scale. Next year, it will be a coastal power plant, and it will be acquired again. There will be too much work, so don't be short of staff at that time."

Everything is developing in a positive direction. After this period of time, Angela and Smith Jama are basically satisfied. It is time to expand their team and give them more trust and power.

"Okay boss."

Angela and Smith Jama said in unison, with a happy smile on their faces.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Christmas is going to be in more than ten days. Although everyone hasn't worked for me for too long, the work efficiency and results during this period are very significant, and I am very satisfied with it.

In this way, Smith, each of the investment company, will give each person a Christmas bonus of 10,000 pounds, 20,000 pounds in the middle, and 50,000 pounds, and everyone will have a happy Christmas." Arthur leaned comfortably on the boss's chair and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your generosity, I think everyone will be very happy and thank you for your boss."

Arthur didn't care about Smith's thanks, but just waved his hand with a smile and said, "I said, I'm not a stingy person. Tell everyone to short the euro this time, everyone should do it well. The more I gain, the more they will have!"

"Okay boss, I will definitely bring your words to everyone." Smith and Jama smiled happily.

Arthur nodded, and after Smith left, he smiled and said to Angela: "It's Christmas, everyone will have a share of rewards. The advisory group will have 20,000 yuan each, and you will have 50,000 yuan."

"Thank you for your generosity," Angela naturally felt very happy, thanking her with a smile as if she was smiling.

It has to be said that young bosses are really generous. You should know that receiving a little extra reward in Europe is not common in businesses, and employers are more often choosing other forms of non-economic interests, such as Christmas dinners and parties, and holding celebrations, small gifts or gift certificates for employees' children.

Although Christmas bonuses are the most common in some Central European countries, less than half of employees have received such bonuses, and the actual bonus itself is not high. Usually, the bonus is about 20 to 30% of the basic monthly salary, with an average bonus of about 20 to 30 euros.

Angela has indeed seen the Christmas bonus starting with 10,000 pounds, like Arthur, and has a new understanding of the boss' generosity.

Angela, who left happily, didn't know what Arthur thought. To be honest, he has made enough money in the past six months. Instead of putting it on the account to pay the high amount of shui in the UK, it is better to distribute part of it to win people's hearts.

In normal times, if you give some bonuses, these people always think that this is their labor income and deserve it. It is really not as effective as sending it on important festivals. It can make these subordinates think of his goodness and be more likely to win people's hearts.

I have to say that spending money is really addictive!

Arthur picked up the phone and called Ceo Corinna from the Coast Power Plant, "It's me, this is the case. Isn't Christmas coming soon? I decided to give each power plant employee a Christmas bonus of 2,000 pounds, management 10,000, and you executives 50,000. I hope everyone has a happy Christmas!"

"Hull, it's me. Isn't Christmas coming soon? I'm going to send you a Christmas red envelope..."

“…The newspapers will send a Christmas bonus of 500 pounds each.”

......

Can't stop at all!

After calling this round of calls, Arthur was completely a scattered boy, a game worker, a coastal power plant, a martial arts world website, newspapers, publishers, and clubs.

Good guy, although the minimum is only five hundred pounds, he really can't resist the number of people who follow him now. There are not many people. Now he has almost managed nearly two thousand people. After this circle, he spent millions of pounds, which is a big deal!

"Paul, it's me, how are you doing at home lately?"

Arthur, who threw out millions of pounds in one breath, did not feel heartbroken. After all, he would not spend it himself, and the British ZF would also help him spend it instead of letting them collect it as good people, otherwise he would come directly.

"...Haha, that's good, how about the crew? Well, it's better to be lively, haha, where are Eddie and Emilia?"

Arthur, who had not returned to the castle for a long time, smiled and listened to the story of the butler Paul. It was not until half an hour later that Arthur smiled and got back to the point.

"Paul, this is the thing. Isn't Christmas coming soon? I'm going to give everyone in the castle a Christmas bonus. Thanks to their hard work this year, each with five thousand pounds. What do you think?"

Out of respect for the butler Paul, Arthur did not make a decision directly, but asked the other party about his opinion. After the butler Paul pondered for a moment, he smiled and thanked Arthur for his generosity on behalf of all the waiters and servants.

As for the butler Paul, Arthur gave a bonus of 100,000 pounds. At first, Paul refused, but after Arthur's insistence, Paul accepted it with great gratitude.
